Extraordinary Invasion by Rabbits.
Baltimore San.


The firm of R. W. Cameron & Co., of New York,
who are agents for the government of New South
Wales, announce that they are in receipt of COM
munication offering reward by that government
of S125 900 to American inventors for any process
which will exterminate rabbits, which have become
pest throughout Australia and New Zealand and
which threaten to destroy not only all the vegeta
bles, but even the sheep pasturage of the entire
country. It is little singular that the rabbit,
which has thus developed into national danger
in Australia is, according to the dispatch, the
lineal descendant of the English rabbit which has
never given any great trouble at home. "Brer
Rabbit" in fact, has generally been regarded in
this country and in England as very inoffensive
and retiring citizen, indeed too retiring for those
who are inclined to force themselves on his society.
The reward promised by the government of New
South Wales offers on opportunity for an American
inventor of genius to make a handsome fortune,
and at the same time to win golden opinions from
all the inhabitants of Australia-except the rab-
bits We do not pretsga to Ra We sG WOULD
modestly suggest that if it would have some five
or ten million tar babies set up throughout Aus
tralia, as Uncle Remus's Brer Fox did in his gar
den in Georgia, the government might find "Brer
Rabbit" securely anchored in the morning, and be
able TO get its sleep hereafter of nights If there
should be disposition to regard this suggestion
favorably and to forward the $685. reward, we
may add that we will be glad to receive it in time
for our Christmas stocking.

The Subject of Public Roads.

At the last meeting of the Niles River talbot
county, Farmers, Club the main topic for discus
sion was "The Public Roads," A correspondent
says: "Taken altogether, the public roads Talbot
are admitted to be the best on the Eastern Shore,
with the possible exception of the Kent county
roads, but there still bad pieces of road in
various parts Of the county. The problem is to
make these good, and to keep the roads good that
have been already put in that condition. The
matter was very intelligently discussed. There
was concert of opinion that more thorough su-
pervision of roadworkers was needed. Senator
Tunis believed that the road machines now owned
by the county would work all the roads thorough
ly and cheaply if managed by men who UNDER
stood the work they were trying to do. DR..
Lowndes referred to discussion of this subject
by the Deer Creek Farmers Club of Hartford
county, but it was not considered that road COM
missioners and road engineer, as proposed there,
would be necessary, or even serviceable, in Talbot
One gentleman thought the County Commission
ers should constantly and thoroughly inspect oil
the roads in the county by visiting them in the
various sections as often as was necessary to OBJ
tain and keep in mind knowledge of their con-
dition and needs.
"No question has been more thoroughly agitated
and generally discussed in Talbot than that of
good public roads. The result is that in the last
six years the roads have been greatly and perma-
nently improved. The farmers, who have the
roads to travel over and the taxes to pay, do not
intend to let the matter DROP"

who died suddenly at Culpeper, Va. The will be-

What a Good Wife Did for Him.

Western Letter.
Ex-Congressman "Jim" Bedford, Of Colorado
whose public career we'll nigh ruined him as law
yer and man, has pulled himself together again
and is now doing good legal business at the Den
yer bar. The struggle which was necessary to &C.
compish this result is described by local paper
as something terrible vanity" it says, "aIone
kept him in public life until his fortunes were
ruined, his interesting family impoverished and
his own health and habits undermined by drink.
He retired from public life with high character
for eoquence and honesty, but broken, poor and
disheartened man. He resumed the pra'tice of
his profession and made brave effort to reform
his habits an gather up the broken thread OF for
tune, but it was at a dull period and business did
not come to him at once. Encouragement and
relapse followed. The sense of ingratitude sunk
into his heart and embittered his existence. He
walked in misery through the shadow of humilia-
ton. The gentle hand of faithful and noble
wife alone chung to him through the darkness and
degradation and held him back from utter despair.
God blessed her faith at last. Jim Bedford is a
man again In a twelve-month his practice will
be worth So 600 per YEAR"

SOME POINTED PARAGRAPHS.
Phila. Times, Dem.

What o whooping President of the French
Republic James G. Blaine would make!
Carlisle need not expect Randall to smoke
any pipe of peace that contains taxed domestic
and free imported tobacco.
Some Democrats do not seem to understand
that a conservative reform issue in the hand is
worth all the free trade issues that the bush can
hold.
-Virginia's popular majority is Democratic,
after all, but not enough to make it safe to let
any free trade whispers reach the southern end of
the Long Bridge.
Wild geese are turning their thoughts to the
South, but they are not so wild in their cacula-
tons the geese that look to the South for solid
support of free trade policy.
The peoples servants in Congress, about to
assemble should remember that their masters
at home, wide awake, and standing at the head OF
the back stairs with the door open.
-Barnum's dead elephant Alice had three hun
dred pennies in her stomach. Another poor beast
has gone astray by studying human methods and
applying them as far as she knew how.
After we get postal telegraph and govern
ment operation of railroads and few other things
the government may take notion to buy up the
truck patches and sell US all our vegetables.
The men who explaining why eprice Of
coal is advancing offer too many explanations
which do not explain. The price of coal is ad
yancing because the dealers are forcing it up
are all surprised that so much fuss is made over
the fact that a man kissed Langtrys slippers.
Lots of men are willing to lick their boots for an
office.
Congressman Springer assertion that Carlisle
will be reelected Speaker almost takes ones
breath. Since Virgins asserted that there would
certainly be dew fall next June there has been
nothing near so exciting
1t is a significant comment on the Anarchist
idea of free speech and free press that report
er who heard John Mosts speech testified that he
"did not take notes at the meeting because he did
not want to be carried out dead"
The free trade bull, which now wears broken
horn as a result Of trying to butt the protection
locomotive off the track, should remember that the
locomotive has been acquiring impetus ever since
and that another attempt may break the bulls
NOV that Henry George has been knocked
out Of politics the thing for him to do is to take
up tract of land in the West and form colony
on the basis of full land value taxation, 80 that
everybody can see how the scheme works. But he
won't.

@-We think it will be generally admitted that
The UNION is not published for the purpose of
giving pleasure to the Towsontown Democrat and
Journal. We are in the habit of saying what we
please without consulting either of the editors of
those papers, and we are therefore not surprised
that sometimes we say things that rub their fur
the wrong way. Two weeks ago The UNION made
q comparison of the vote east in Baltimore county
for Mr.. Walter B. Brooks, for Governor, with that
of the vote for the candidate for State Senator on
the same ticket with him, showing that the latter
ran behind Mr.. Brooks in this county nearly sic
hundred rotes! This plain statement Of fact gave
the thick witted editor of the Journal one of the
most severe spasms he has had for some time, be-
cause it happened to reflect upon the man whose
cause he so actively championed in the early part
of the late campaign. After going through some
Of his most grotesque contortions he comes at us
in his usualrambling, disjointed and fussy" style
because we did not see proper to make COMPARE
son of the vote of all the candidates with that of
Mr.. Brooks. We had no objection to offer when
this double-jointed editor was found doing his
gess sor ais-ru name did
support, and who we do not happen to think SO
ssrrOgorhsr IOveIy as ne uoes. NE had right to
support and defend him if he saw fit, and he is
still privileged to champion his cause if he finds
pleasure in SO doing, but that fact does not make
it incumbent upon US to do SO. Wemade no false
showing. We simply stated what is well-known
fact, and we dare him to deny it.

8-The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has
taken a step which will excite good deal of com
ment, favorable and otherwise. 1t proposes to es-
tablish railroad saving fund, for the benefit Of
its employees. Station masters will be authorized
to receive deposits from employees in sums of five
dollars and upward, on which interest at the rate
of per centum per annum will be allowed.
There can be no doubt that this plan will accom-
earnings in the Company's hands, which, perhaps,
they would spend but for this opportunity of saw
ing. Opportunity, it is said, creates thrift; no
doubt this is true and many who have heretofore
squandered their earnings will now be induced to
save them

The city Of Frederick was thrown into
high state Of excitement on Monday night by
report gaining circulation that mob of armed
negroes had left New Market with the intention
Of attacking the Jail and lynching the sheriff in
retaliation for the lynching of the colored man
Bigus. The sheriff at once summoned large
posse of armed men, including detachment of
the Frederick Riaemen, and made every prepara-
ton to defend the jail but the mob did not put in
an appearance. 1t is believed that the leaders
had been appraised Of the preparations made to re-
ceiye them and that they abandoned the attack.
The sheriff has moved his family from the Jail,
which has since been strongly guarded.

a CURIOUS Relic Found.
Letter from Sno,p Hill. Md.

Letter from Snow Hill. Md.
The personal property of Mrs. Ellen Moore, de-
ceased, was sold here at public auction the 23d.
Among several articles found in chest sold was
piece fcypress wood, about two by three inches,
bearing the following inscription on piece of
paper pasted on the block, which had turned very
yellow from age:
"a piece of the outer coffin of George Washing
ton, which was covered with black cloth. Within
this was mahogany coffin containing a leaden
one which held the remains of the great and good
man. In removing the remains from the old to
the new tomb at Mt. Vernon, in 1881, this (outer)
case was found to be so decsyed as to make q new
one necessary, and the old one was broken up and
divided among the family, from member of which
this was received. Presented bv Ferdinand Coxe."

hi RhjlaaGlnhia R he a%riteS Intended
to convey as well as the Sun. If not will be
more explicit. There are hundreds of owners of
property in the Belt who are opposed to annexa-
ton, unless the most favorable concessions are
made to them in favor of low taxes &c.. for term
of years. We possess, they say, all the advan-
tages of the city as we are, and why should we
surrender all We enjoy without guild pro quo
Does it stand to reason with county taxes SS6) at
81 cts against 70 in the city mot including State
taxes, 1S3 cts.) that any man who knows the value
of money is going to make any such sacrifice unless
he receives full value in exchange? How many
taxpayers in the Belt honestly believe that annex
alton to the city means lower taxes for the city
taxpayers? No. one in twenty but on the con-
trary an increase. 1t is well known fact that an
immense amount of real estate in the city is
assessed far beyond its value and would not bring
anything like its assessed value at public sale, and
many pieces of property would not bring as much
as the capitalized value of the ground rent at FIVE
per cent. How is it that with all the houses go
ing up all over the city, and that have been built
since the last assessment that taxes not lower
than they are? How you account forit? The
late George M. Gill, were he living, might answer
this question, as he was thoroughly posted this
subject of city taxation and expenses.
Again, Messrs. Editors, there many who are
opposed to annexation under any circumstances,
whilst believe the great majority of the popula-
ton in the Belt, as we'll as Baltimore county and
many of the citizens of Baltimore, sooner than
have q severance Of the county would favor the
city taking in the whole county, even though we
touched the hey"dsF. hire Of Penn &c
the Belt to Baltimore city, unless the taxpayers
and owners of property have most liberal conces-
sions made to them and carried out to the letter,
means jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.
It's so, Old Sol, and you know it. Let the ques-
ton in all its bearings be fully ventilated to the
the people mostly interested by the press and
others interested on this important question.
